Ecological consequences of grassland restoration: changes in biodiversity & its ecosystem services
The need for restoring degraded grasslands due to desertification, salinization, and agricultural overuse is becoming increasingly urgent worldwide. This special issue will focus on evaluating ecological restoration methods for degraded grasslands, with an emphasis on enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services. Featured articles will cover a variety of restoration techniques, including artificial sand stabilization, enclosure, fertilization, mowing, grazing, reintroduction of vegetation, and soil amendments. Contributors will assess the success of restoration efforts in terms of species diversity above and below ground, trophic relationships, energy flows, ecological functionality, and adaptability to environmental changes. This issue aims to highlight how diverse restoration strategies can effectively rejuvenate grassland ecosystems and improve management practices to achieve significant and sustainable restoration results.

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment的CAR指数
2023年3月份科睿唯安官方一次性踢除35本SCI期刊，多数涉及学术诚信问题，让我们意识到学术期刊的“被踢”指数，也很重要。目前，对于期刊的“被踢”指数，这里介绍一下：CAR指数（关于CAR的详细介绍，请关注：www.jcarindex.com），这是一种评价期刊学术诚信风险的指数，指数越高代表可能的风险越大。从数据看，Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment不管是2022年度，还是2023年度的CAR指数，都是比较低的。当然，CAR指数仅供参考，期刊风险情况，需以科睿唯安或中科院预警等官方为准！
